Kick panel differences?

[Threehz]

Hey so I've almost finished my audio system install and while going to put the kick panels (the covers for the front speakers) the driver side one seems like it might not be the right one.

When I bought the car it only had the passenger side kick panel but I got one for free from someone, however I believe it was from a 325i or eta, anyhow I was informed that there was NO difference in these panels among all the E30's.

It looks like it should fit, but trying to get it in there earlier seemed like much more of a struggle then it should be.

Just wondering could it be a wrong fitment? Or does it just need some bending and crunching to fit?

Ok so driver side is on the left, that is the one that someone gave me which seems like it might not fit properly.

The main thing I found was the bottom right corner of the driver side panel (in the picture) is blocked by a corner of the dash. I mean it may just need some "assistance"

Airbag and non airbag are different on the driver side of the car. You can cut yours to fit.

Aaaaah this make sense, ok I guess I'll just have to cut away, thanks!
